Political Powder Keg: Has Religious Tolerance Gone Too Far?

CBN News ^ | June 3rd, 2004 | Melissa Charbonneau

the Al Islah Islamic Center says they should be able to broadcast over public loudspeakers in Arabic, five times a day, from 6am to 10pm. .....

I don't think they had loudspeakers in the days of their founder........

[Theo]

... they should be able to broadcast over public loudspeakers in Arabic, five times a day....

Just like they did 1,400 years ago....

[Argus]

Somebody should put up a loudspeaker opposite the mosque, and every time the muezzin broadcasts the call to prayer, they should blast back Frankie Yankovic playing the Beer Barrel Polka.

[Theo]

great minds ...

[missyme]

I will just say "This won't happen in my City"


A Call to prayer or a Call to Kill your sister, mother or any other female relative

[missyme]

Maybe next they will want to slaughter an animal in the street or maybe another Muslim, I mean it's religious freedom ISLAM...

[cripplecreek]

There is an option here. If I were a Hamtramck resident i would by a bullhorn or a bell (maybe both). When the call to prayer begins I would consider it a call to make noise....lots of noise. A few thousand residents doing the same could drown out the daily caterwalling.

[Mr Rogers]

I would recommend "Onward, Christian soldiers".

[cripplecreek]

I was thinking more along the lines of megadeth or metallica but hey, whatever floats your boat.

[Argus]

I was thinking of something indigenous to Hamtramck.

Hafiz Mohammed of the Islamic Association of Michigan, says, "Those people who are opposing Azan, our position is not a new phenomenon. They are racist!"

How quickly they learn how to play the game.

[Clint Williams]

Somebody should put up a loudspeaker opposite the mosque, and every time the muezzin broadcasts the call to prayer, they should blast back Frankie Yankovic playing the Beer Barrel Polka.

But that wouldn't be "sensitive" or "tolerant"...

[missyme]

Oh yes they learned would they dare call someone a racist in there Muslim Land? I think not...Muslims must think were pretty easy prey...

[missyme]

I would like to know Muslims that try to blow up everybody that isn't a Muslim say "Allah Akbar" GOD is great' how do we know that when they broadcast that message over a loud speaker that is not a signal for a suicide bomber or Islamic Terrorist?

[cripplecreek]

"How quickly they learn how to play the game."

I believe the quran tells them to "play the game" right up untill they rise up in conquest.

[American in Israel]

So does this mean that All Christian Church's in America now get to read the bible to the town 5 times a day at 110 db?

Just think, a Chapter a day, five times a day every day, seven days a week. Most Mosques you can hear easily a half a mile away.

Why you could hear the Lords Prayer or the Ten Commandments every day of the week!!!

Or is freedom in the name of rude only valid when the very same thing is done in Arabic not english?

[American in Israel]

Motlib says, "Some people, they don't know what time is our congregation, only for congregation coming and participating. That's why we want to call prayer outside."

Bullshirt, It is called a watch son...

[jess35]

Get rid of the Church bells and the calls to prayer. Both of them irritate me.

[missyme]

Out of respect for our soldiers that are dying in the name of ISLAM why the heck do we have to have a Mosque calling out to prayer in the USA 5 times a day? I don't get it?
